Great article www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

China's electric cars are cheaper, but is there a deeper cost?
The future for EVs will inevitably involve China. But where does that leave the UK and Europe markets – and what of the questions around national security?

Pragmatic discussion of the thorny issue “The last 10%” Keep in mind: - decarbonising transport & swapping to heat pumps will at least double grid demand - these reports age fast as tech & costs change - the transition won’t be overnight & a measured suck it & see approach likely to be efficient

Chinese LNG buyers resell US cargoes as tariffs bite
Chinese buyers of LNG are re-selling U.S.-sourced cargoes as tit-for-tat tariffs drive up import costs, and the trend is set to accelerate as new multi-year supply deals kick in this month and domestic demand weakens, traders and analysts say.

Direct air capture would more than double the cost of gas/oil/petrol/diesel but I’m sure the actual charge to customers, after profit & taxes would be a lot more So if you want to triple the cost of fuel, DAC is the way to go

the latest volley in the age-old competition between dynamical and statistical prediction methods. The latter might now have the upper hand (by certain measures) but they are also subject to strong "stationarity" assumptions that could lead to bias in the presence of a changing climate.

It wasn’t net zero — it was fossil gas that drove up UK electricity prices. Spot on, @pilitaclark.bsky.social! Gas sets the price most of the time. As @dharavyas.bsky.social Energy UK, says: "It’s the volatile cost of fossil fuels and our dependence on them that have driven up energy bills."

Excellent article but two key points missed Carbon cost of Chinese power is falling rapidly Americans use nearly double the power per person as China The conclusion? American electricity produces more carbon per person than Chinese and the gap is growing fast www.reuters.com/markets/comm...
reuters.com
China's power grid clean-up puts several US systems to shame: Maguire
China's steady expansion to coal-fired power capacity has drawn ire from U.S. power system advisers who gripe that there's little point in cleaning up generation at home while China lifts coal-fired emissions ever higher.
